In this paper, we calculate mass and probability fractions of meson-meson components of $X(3872)$ in an unquenched quark model. Different from most of other unquenched quark models, the quark pairs creation operator from $^3P_0$ is modified…
In this contribution, we briefly analyze the formalism of the unquenched quark model (UQM) and its application to the calculation of hadron spectra with self-energy corrections, due to the coupling to the meson-meson continuum. In the UQM,…
Quantum chromodynamics (QCD), the quantum field theory of strong interactions, is highly nonpertubative in the low-energy sector, where confinement dominates and resonance phenomena are observed. Therefore, phenomenological unquenched…

A Quark-Meson Coupling (QMC) model is extended to finite nuclei in the relativistic mean-field or Hartree approximation. The ultra-relativistic quarks are assumed to be bound in non-overlapping nucleon bags, and the interaction between…
A quark model, which reproduces the ground-state mesons and baryons, i.e., the threshold energies, is applied to the $qqqc\bar c$ configurations, where $q$ is a light quark and~$c$ the charmed quark. In the calculation, several open…
General results are obtained for meson mass splittings and mixings in unquenched (coupled-channel) quark models. Theorems derived previously in perturbation theory are generalised to the full coupled-channel system. A new formula is…

The unquenched quark model for the light quarkonium and the charmonium states is explored in the present work. The quark-pair creation operator in the $^3P_0$ model, which mix the two-quark and four-quark components is modified by…
We study meson-meson scattering in a soluble model which describes asymptotically free mesons and confined quark-antiquark pairs via coupled channels. Concretely, the two scattered mesons are assumed to interact through s-channel…
We discuss some applications of the unquenched quark model which is an extension of the CQM that includes the effects of sea quarks via a 3P0 quark-antiquark pair-creation mechanism. Particular attention is paid to the electromagnetic…
Quark models taking into account the dynamical effects of hadronic decay often produce very different predictions for mass shifts in the hadron spectrum. The consequences for meson spectroscopy can be dramatic and completely obscure the…
The exploration of energies above the open-flavor threshold in the meson spectra has led to the appearance of unexpected states difficult to accommodate in the naive picture of a bound state of a quark and an antiquark. Many of such states…
We discuss the non-relativistic multichannel quark model and describe the techniques developed to solve the resulting equations. We then investigate some simple solutions to demonstrate how the model unifies meson-meson scattering with…

Heavy hadron spectroscopy was well understood within the naive quark model until the end of the past century. However, in 2003, the $X(3872)$ was discovered, with puzzling properties difficult to understand in the simple naive quark model…
